Welcome Jesus into Our Hearts

1.
Welcome Jesus into our hearts On Christmas

2.
We see Christmas lights shining everywhere. We see people rushing through the malls,shopping and buying gifts for their loved ones. We also hear the singing of the Christmas carols on TV and the radio. Children are waiting for Santa Claus and their presents to come at Christmas.

3.
We often forget the true theology of Christmas. When we think of Christmas we think of gifts . At Christmas, our ears echo to the sound of Christmas bells and the fireworks. Our eyes feast on the Christmas lights.

4.
Christmasis a very traditional time of the coming of people to visit us.

5.
But Christmas is really the coming of Jesus Christinto our world, into our lives and into our hearts.

8.
It was an ordinary night with ordinary sheep and ordinary shepherds. The black sky exploded with brightness.The angel came in the night because that is when lights are best seen and when they are most needed.

18.
The presence of Jesus in our hearts is the reasonfor the celebration that we really ought to have at Christmas because Jesus has come to us.

19.
Since Jesus is coming in our world, in our lives and in our hearts, we ought to prepare for His coming. In a sense, Jesus does not come tous as He came to His apostles andthe people of His life on earth, nor does He come to us only on Christmas Day.

20.
We really should prepare for Him every day in our lives. We should preparefor Jesus as we prepare for all those coming to us at Christmas.

21.
Prepare our heartsfor the coming of Jesus is the best giftthat we can offer Him when He comes to us.

22.
We can prepare for the coming of Jesus by allowing Him to enter into our hearts, our mind and our souls, by our prayer every dayWe can prepare our hearts for Jesus by opening them to Him at Mass and in Confession.

23.
Mark says: "If Christcomes to us, He must not find us asleep. We must stay awake for Christ!"Paul explains that "stayawake" means "May the Lord keep us holy and without any big sins inour lives when He comes to us."

24.
Since Christ is coming to us, we should make surethere is room for Him in our world, in our lives and in our hearts.
